Shawn shares his journey from growing up in a household where drinking was normalized to finding sobriety and reconciliation with his oldest daughter after years of addiction and separation.

• First introduced to alcohol at age five when his mother gave him Schlitz malt liquor for a head injury
• Military career cut short after testing positive for cocaine, returned home to continue cycle of addiction
• Made the devastating choice to step away from his daughter's life when she was six years old
• Hit rock bottom after experiencing hallucinations during a methamphetamine binge
• Found sobriety in 2015 and has maintained it for almost 10 years without traditional 12-step programs
• Recently reconnected with his oldest daughter who told him "I don't blame you"
• Credits his wife Mary for supporting his continued growth and helping facilitate reconciliation
• Now raising their two-year-old daughter with intention and awareness

If you're struggling with addiction, know that it's never too late to make changes. Recovery isn't a destination but a journey, and healing is possible even after years of separation and pain.
